Q: What is your role at Providence Eye?
A: My role at Providence Eye is an Ophthalmic Technician, which means I perform tests on our patients, looking at their eyes, vision and the general health of their eyes. I also assist Dr. Mozayeni during LASIK procedures.
Q: What do you like best about your position at Providence Eye?

Q: Why did you decide that Providence Eye was the right place for you?
A: I decided that Providence Eye was the right place for me after meeting the staff and knowing I had always wanted to work in LASIK industry.

It was almost as if I had never left…I still felt like a part of the Providence Eye family.
Q: What do you like most about Charlotte?
A: Lots of things! I love the people, southern hospitality and having the mountains and beach just a few short hours away. Although the city is growing, I still feel like it has the “small town” feel in certain aspects.
Q: What do you like least about Charlotte?
A: I dislike the traffic. I travel from Lake Norman every day, and while most days are okay, the traffic is never predictable.
